## Intent
|
|
A system with lots of objects can lead to complexities when a
|
|
client wants to subscribe to events. The client has to find and register for
|
|
each object individually, if each object has multiple events then each event
|
|
requires a separate subscription. An Event Aggregator acts as a single source
|
|
of events for many objects. It registers for all the events of the many objects
|
|
allowing clients to register with just the aggregator.

## Applicability
|
|
Use the Event Aggregator pattern when
|
|
|
|
* Event Aggregator is a good choice when you have lots of objects that are
|
|
potential event sources. Rather than have the observer deal with registering
|
|
with them all, you can centralize the registration logic to the Event
|
|
Aggregator. As well as simplifying registration, a Event Aggregator also
|
|
simplifies the memory management issues in using observers.
